prohibitionisfs Defeated.

After The most heated contest on recori
In the state of Georgia. Atlanta voted
against prohibition Nov. &c The fight has
been peculiarly bitter one. For over
month the citizens have been engaged In
the contest. Meetings have been held al
most every night and local speaker and
foreign state men have stumped the
country from almost every curbstons in
the city and every cross road in the coun-
try. Early In the campaign the prohibi-
ton SITS leased the largest warehouse in
the city and fitted IL up with seating ca
pacity for 5000 people. Almost nightly
that building has been filled and such
scenes of wild enthusiasm are rarely wit
messed. Almost every u mister In the
city preached prohibition from his pulpit
Sunday after Sunday. Both sides had
full campaign fund, and managed their
respective causes for all they were worta-
he Negro vote was the bone OF contenI
ton and was the balance OF power: Eacf
sid made the most strenuo endeavOrs
to secure il in every way possible. The
Negroes were considerably divided on the
subject, though majority OF them voted
with the anti-prohiblti onists. one OF the
features OF the contest has been the active
part taken by many women OF the city.
Several of the churches organized com
mittees from among their female mem
bers who took an active part In the cam
paign. They organized the women oil the
colored churches into societies and met
with them and prayed with them day
after day. The result Of their work was
shown 10y the appearance OF large num-
bers OF women at the polls with blue
badges. They served hot coffee and
sandwiches at every polling place and
conducted prayer meetings and singing
crusades in the open air.

formal action with regard to the erection
of a monument to the memory of the
eight policemen killed on the night Of the
Haymarket massacre May 4, 1886, 10y the

purpose, but no special body or commit
tee has been organized 10 carry the in
tentions of the donors into practical eff
feet This amount however, il is very
clear will not be the limit OF the subscrip-
tions which will be made for the purpose
contemplated. IL il designed TO erect
either large monoiith with basso-relieve
giving faithful portraiture of the men
and n representation OF the scenes OF the
night upon the spot where they met their
death. or a group of statuary commemora-
tive of this historic episode. AS soon as
an executive committee Is appointed to
carry out the project there will he no
lack OF funds to complete the work, what
ever design may be finally decided upon.

Platt Walker Gets Nothing.

Special TO the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Col. Platt
Walker is candidate for position in
the house under the doorkeeper. He
has absolutely no show for an appoint
ment. Congressman Rice has done all
that man can do for friend and con-
stituent. Doorkeeper Hurt says that
he is willing to give Col. Walker posi-
ton, if the Minnesota Democratic con-
gressmen will unite in recommending
him. But Mr.. Rice has been unsuccess-
full in securing the cooperation of the
other gentlemen, and hence Col. Walker
is not likely to be appointed. "You
see," says D0orkeeper Hurt, II have
but few offices to give. When a
state delegation of Democratic members
uniteS upon any man i give them the
best place open for appointment. But
when they come to me individually l
can do nothing. 1t would require 165
places to satisfy every man. 1t is i'm
possible for me to do than with only
about fifty appointments at my dis
pOSal." OF course one of the small
places would not be acceptable to Col.
Walker. Many of the appointees are
cOlored men,and they do Scrubbnig and
spittoon cleaning. Others are laborers
who fold wrappers around documents,
etc. So. inasmuch as there is no unity
or unison in the request of Minnesota
for Col. Walker, he will get nothing in
the house. Mr.. Rice is sorry, exceeding
ly sorry, but the matter cannot be
helped,

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Dec. 19.-Hangers-on at the
Gospel Army headquarters, in the base
ment of the Kilian block, generally find
something to amuse them every even
ing. If nothing turns up in the usual
order Of the services, there are not
wanting boys enough who stand near
enough to the doorways, ready to seize
any opportunity to create laugh and
turn what presumably is meant for a
serious religious meeting into something
little above side show. Last evening
a Norwegian who has been attending
the meetings under Kilian's block and
felt very kindly disposed to Capt. Clark,
brought live goose to the doorway as
a present for the captain. But he
was too timid to venture into the meet
ing with the goose, and handed it to an
acquaintan ce to carry it in. He too was
baShful, and the goose was handed
around until young man, bOlder than
the rest, offered to take it in to the cap
tain. The goose was carried inside and
then given throw into the air. The
frighted bird landed in the center of
the hall, soaring some and raising a
loud laugh from others. A hungry
young chap saw the opportunity for Sc
curing Christmas dinner, and snatch
ing the goose up, he started on run
through the hall and out of doors in the
direction of his home; but Officer
Welch called after him and the poor fel-
low dropped his game. Mr.. Welch car
ried the bird to police headquarters last
night, and the officers say he is fatten-
ing it up now for Christmas.

which occurred at o'clock this morn

seven weeks. His funeral will take

HIS CHICAGO CAREER.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-In his day Barney
Caulfield was the confidential advisor of
Bishop Foley, of the Chicago diocese,
and the leading Catholic layman of the
city. He came to Chicago in 1858,
and until his departure, in 1878, he
was heavily interested in real estate.
The period of depression, beginning
in 1878 and extending to the resumption
of specie payments, found him land
poor and he failed about 1875 with liza
bilities verging ON half million dollars.
Mr.. Caulfield was lawyer by profess
sion and had fair practice. He was
elected to congress from the First Him
OiS district in 1874, though he was a
Democrat and the district Republican.
In the congress following the expira-
ton of his term he filled out
the uneXpired term of j. B. Rice.
Failing to secure nomination in a sub
sequent campaign his friends seeded
from the convention and nominated
him on boilers ticket. He was, how
ever, induced to withdraw and the
regular candidate ran and was defeated,
For a time after his congressional
career he lived in Chicago and in St.
Louis. He was prominent in the PeO-
ple's party movement in 1878 and in
that way came into political prominence.
He was a SOutherner by birth and a
popular man here.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 19.-Newt Vorce

Robinson ranch, about twelve miles
from Deer Trail, where he is still hold
ing the men at bay who are attempting
his arrest. Another man has lost his
life, making two killed and one wounded
since the first effort was made to arrest
Vorce, and the desperate is not yet cap
tured. A sheepherder, whose name is
not known, was I'm the dugOut with
Vorce and has been shot and killed by
the guards. The Sheepherder about
dawn left the dugOut wearing VOrce'S
hat, and when about fifty feet from the
dugout, a volley was fired at him, the
suppositiOn being that he was Vorce
He fell. but for some time the men were
afraid to go after the body, as Vorce
could easily reach them with his rife.
When, after about two hours delay
three men went after the body, they
found it warm, but the man had ap-
parently just died from internal
hemorrhage. There were two bullet
holes through his breast. Yesterday
Under Sheriff IlyingtOn, with number
of deputies, left for Deer Trail on spe-

been received. Vorce is said to have
plenty of food and water in his dugOut
and five horses, one of them being
racer.
Vorce finally surrendered and is now
